      <video:title><![CDATA[Is Africa ready for the next wave of global investments?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Africa has long been described as a continent of enormous investment potential, but a changing global economy may be creating a very different kind of opportunity.

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, data centres and renewable energy is driving demand for power, infrastructure and critical minerals, many of which Africa has in abundance. At the same time, geopolitical tensions are forcing companies and governments to rethink where they invest and how they secure their supply chains.
So, is Africa genuinely ready to capture the next wave of global investment? Frank Blackmore, Lead Economist at KPMG South Africa, joins CNBC Africa for more.
